The revolution will be an inside job.
“In a dark time, the eye begins to see.”
Theodore Roethke
Evolution has delivered men, paradoxically, to a precipice we are both unprepared to meet yet uniquely positioned to lead.
Perhaps in a time of global uncertainty, order will catalyze from the inside out — not top-down, not outside-in.
Perhaps “leadership,” too, will come to mean something vastly different.
It is our belief that nothing makes the future more beautiful - and our role in creating it more worthy - than surrendering to our native inherence with body, soul and earth.
Meet Our Teachers
Drawing from a wide range of lineages and methodologies, our facilitators’ works share a common thread: the body as primary mode of sustainable inquiry and insight.
Adam Barley
Adam Barley is a movement catalyst, author, and the founder of ZeroOne, an evolving mystery school based on embodiment, presence and enquiry.
He began studying healing and meditation in the early ’80s, training with Gabrielle Roth in the ’90s to teach the 5Rhythms, and more recently completed Gabor Maté Compassionate Inquiry training.
He has built a world-wide reputation for transformative embodiment experiences that combine influences from dance, voicework, tantra, meditation and trauma-informed therapies.
Ezekiel Fugate
As co-founder of Deep Belonging, Blue Ridge Rites of Passage, and the Springhouse Community School, Ezekiel works with organizations committed to catalyzing the transformation of human consciousness in service of a flourishing Earth.
He is fiercely committed to creating culture that honors the sacred dimension of the universe, supports the full flowering and liberation of all people, and celebrates joy, beauty, and laughter along the way.
He lives with the love of his life and their two daughters on a small permaculture homestead and native plant sanctuary in the Appalachian Mountains of Floyd County, Virginia.
Pieter Van Winkle
Pieter is a pioneer in the field of men’s work.
His decade-plus obsession with making men’s groups more embodied - or making embodiment work more masculine - has driven him to innovate the “men’s group” form — in both the online and in-person context.
Inspired by the windswept mesas outside his doorstep, the enigmatic crucible of his sensate body, and the creative impulse dancing between them, Pieter thrives in deep listening at the mysterious nexus of body, land and soul.
Pieter works with individuals online, and in person at his retreat center/homestead farm in Western Colorado.
